MEMPHIS -- There could be three games left in this Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Clippers series.

Three more opportunities to hear how much the Grizzlies miss or don't miss Rudy Gay.

Chalk Game 4 up in the category of don't miss.

The Grizzlies, who have something not a lot of teams in the NBA have this season, two big men who can carry the team in Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, got great performances ... again, from the two and beat the Clippers 104-83, and the series is now tied at 2-2.

When the fell down 0-2, the "Grizzles miss Gay" excuse was rampant. Gay was their leading scorer and traded to the Toronto Raptors in a three-player deal in January. But without him, there is better ball movement and Randolph and Gasol have more opportunities to take over like they did in Game 4.

Randolph had 24 points, Gasol had 24 points. They were a combined 20-of-34 shooting. Gasol had 13 rebounds, Randolph had 9.

The team that controls the boards has won each game of the series so far, with Memphis owning a 45-28 advantage in Game 4. That led to a 22-2 difference in second-chance points, boosted by a 13-5 edge on offensive boards.

The Grizzlies used their prowess on the glass to beat the speedy Clippers when it came to fast-break points, 18-6.

Memphis' biggest advantage is its big men, and Randolph and Gasol each took turns helping the Grizzlies turn this into a best-of-three series. Gasol had six points at halftime, and Tony Allen said Hollins chewed out the 7-foot-1 Spaniard at the break, reminding him to score.

"The second half he was just phenomenal," Allen said.

Gasol said Hollins didn't tell him to try to score more because the center noted he had been trying to do just that in the first half.

"We had Zach going in the first half, so we played through Zach," Gasol said. "It doesn't matter who scores. At the end of the day, what matters is we win."

"We've got to come in and be focused and play the same way," Randolph said of Game 5 in Los Angeles, which is coming up Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET at the Staples Center.

The game was close in the first half and for part of the third, but with the score tied at 62 with 3:46 left in the third quarter, Memphis blew out the Clippers the rest of the way, outscoring them 31-16 in the final period.
